Hosea 2
1 [At that time, ] you will say to your fellow-Israeli men, “[You are] God’s people,” and [you will say] to your fellow-Israeli women, “You are ones whom God loves.”
Говорите братьям вашим: “Мой народ”, и сестрам вашим: “Помилованная”.
2 [Yahweh also said to me], “I want you to accuse the Israeli people. [It is as though] [MET] this nation is your mother, but this nation is [no longer as though it is] [MET] my wife, and it is [no longer as though] [MET] I am its husband. Tell the Israeli people that they must stop [acting like] a prostitute [by worshiping other gods]; they must stop showing by their behavior that they (are unfaithful to/have abandoned) [me] [MET].
Судитесь с вашею матерью, судитесь; ибо она не жена Моя, и Я не муж ее; пусть она удалит блуд от лица своего и прелюбодеяние от грудей своих,
3 If they do not do that, I will not give them [food and] clothes [as a husband should give to his wife]; I will take away those things, and I will cause their nation to become [as deserted] as it was on the day that I [brought their ancestors out of Egypt and caused them to become a nation] [MET]. I will cause their country to be like [SIM] a desert; there will be no rain to water the ground [MET].
Дабы Я не разоблачил ее донага и не выставил ее, как в день рождения ее, не сделал ее пустынею, не обратил ее в землю сухую и не уморил ее жаждою.
4 I will not pity the people, because they have [abandoned me] as [MET] prostitutes abandon their husbands.
И детей ее не помилую, потому что они дети блуда.
5 Their parents are like prostitutes [MET]: they have been unfaithful [to me], and they have done [very] disgraceful things. They said, ‘We will run to [our idols/gods] who love us; [they are the ones] who give us food and water and wool and linen and [olive] oil, and [wine to] drink.’
Ибо блудодействовала мать их и осрамила себя зачавшая их; ибо говорила: “пойду за любовниками моими, которые дают мне хлеб и воду, шерсть и лен, елей и напитки”.
6 So [it will be as though] [MET] I am blocking their road with thornbushes, and putting put a wall around them so that they do not know which way to go.
За то вот, Я загорожу путь ее тернами и обнесу ее оградою, и она не найдет стезей своих,
7 They will run to their idols/gods that [they think] love them, but they will not find them. They will search for their false gods, but they will not find them. Then they will say, ‘[Perhaps] we should return to [Yahweh], whom we worshiped previously [MET], because things were better for us then than they are now.’
и погонится за любовниками своими, но не догонит их, и будет искать их, но не найдет, и скажет: “пойду я и возвращусь к первому мужу моему; ибо тогда лучше было мне, нежели теперь”.
8 But they do not realize that I, [Yahweh], am the one who gave them grain and wine and [olive] oil; I am the one who gave them silver and gold which they used to worship Baal.
А не знала она, что Я, Я давал ей хлеб и вино и елей и умножил у нее серебро и золото, из которого сделали истукана Ваала.
9 Therefore I will return and take my grain and grapes from them when they are ripe. I will take from them the wool and linen that I gave to them [to make their clothes] [MTY].
За то Я возьму назад хлеб Мой в его время и вино Мое в его пору и отниму шерсть и лен Мой, чем покрывается нагота ее.
10 I will show those false gods/idols that what my people are doing is disgusting [MET], and no one will be able to hinder me from [punishing them].
И ныне открою срамоту ее пред глазами любовников ее, и никто не исторгнет ее из руки Моей.
11 I will cause their religious celebrations to cease, the festivals that they celebrate every year and at every new moon and on their (Sabbath days/weekly days of rest). I will cause all their religious celebrations to cease.
И прекращу у нее всякое веселье, праздники ее и новомесячия ее, и субботы ее, и все торжества ее.
12 I will destroy [all] their grapevines and fig trees, which they said were what their [idols/gods] who loved them paid them for worshiping those idols. I will cause those places to become a desert, and wild animals will eat the fruit [that remains].
И опустошу виноградные лозы ее и смоковницы ее, о которых она говорит: это у меня подарки, которые надарили мне любовники мои; и Я превращу их в лес, и полевые звери поедят их.
13 I will punish my people for [all] the times that they burned incense to [honor] the idols of Baal. They decorated themselves with rings and jewelry, and they went to worship those [false gods/idols] that [they thought] [IRO] loved them, but they abandoned/forgot me! [That is what I], Yahweh, say.
И накажу ее за дни служения Ваалам, когда она кадила им и, украсив себя серьгами и ожерельями, ходила за любовниками своими, а Меня забывала, говорит Господь.
14 But listen! [Some day] I will persuade my people [to worship me again]; I will lead them [out] into the desert and speak kindly to them [there].
Посему вот, и Я увлеку ее, приведу ее в пустыню и буду говорить к сердцу ее.
15 I will give their vineyards [back] to them, and I will cause Achor Valley, [which means ‘valley of trouble'], to become a valley where they will confidently expect [me to do good things for them]. They will (respond to/want to please) me there like they did long ago, when I freed them from [being slaves in] Egypt.
И дам ей оттуда виноградники ее и долину Ахор, в преддверие надежды; и она будет петь там, как во дни юности своей и как в день выхода своего из земли Египетской.
16 At that time, they will say to me, ‘[It is as though] [MET] you are our husband.’ They will not say that I am their [master, like they considered that] Baal [was].
И будет в тот день, говорит Господь, ты будешь звать Меня: муж мой - и не будешь более звать Меня: “Ваали”.
17 I will not allow them to speak [MTY] the names of Baal; they will never use those names again.
И удалю имена Ваалов от уст ее, и не будут более вспоминаемы имена их.
18 At that time [it will be as though] I will make an agreement with [all] the wild animals and birds, and [even with] the little animals that scurry across the ground, so that they will never harm my people [again]. And I will remove from their nation all the weapons [for fighting] battles, [like] swords and bows [and arrows]. The result will be that my people will live peacefully and safely, and will not be afraid.
И заключу в то время для них союз с полевыми зверями и с птицами небесными, и с пресмыкающимися по земле; и лук, и меч, и войну истреблю от земли той, и дам им жить в безопасности.
19 I will cause them to be [as though they are] [MET] my bride forever. I will be righteous and fair/just; I will faithfully love them and be kind to them.
И обручу тебя Мне навек, и обручу тебя Мне в правде и суде, в благости и милосердии.
20 I will not abandon them, and they will realize [that I] Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do.]
И обручу тебя Мне в верности, и ты познаешь Господа.
21 At that time, [when they request me to do things for them], [I will do those things]. When they request clouds and rain to fall on their land, I will speak to the clouds, and rain will fall on the earth,
И будет в тот день, Я услышу, говорит Господь, услышу небо, и оно услышит землю,
22 and grain will grow, and the vineyards and the olive trees will grow in Jezreel [Valley].
и земля услышит хлеб и вино и елей; а сии услышат Изреель.
23 [At that time], I will take care of the Israeli people [like a farmer plants and takes care of his crops] [MET]. I will love those people that I previously said were ones I did not love, and I previously said, ‘You are not my people,’ and [then] they will say to me, ‘You are our God.’”
И посею ее для Себя на земле, и помилую Непомилованную, и скажу не Моему народу: ты Мой народ, а он скажет: Ты мой Бог!
